Chhichhore also stars Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Prateik Babbar, Naveen Polishetty and Tushar Pandey. The film tells the story of two characters, played by Sushant and Shraddha, and spans their lives -- from youth to middle age. Sushant is part of a gang of friends, who get separated after college, only to reunite years later in a hospital in unfortunate circumstances.

 The Boxofficeindia report also said that Saaho may also have registered a growth and collected Rs 3.25 on Tuesday. Shraddha stars in both Chhichhore and Saaho, the Prabhas starrer released a week earlier though.
